Congratulations to the APALA members who were named as part of the Association of Research Libraries’ 2011-2012 Leadership and Career Development Program! Quite an honor!
From the formal announcement:
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Committee on Diversity and Leadership has selected 19 fellows to participate in the 2011-2012 Leadership and Career Development Program (LCDP). The LCDP is an 18-month fellowship program to prepare mid-career librarians from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups to take on increasingly demanding leadership roles in ARL libraries. The LCDP addresses the need for research libraries to develop a more diverse professional workforce that can contribute to library success in serving the research, teaching, and learning needs of increasingly diverse learning communities.
The 2011-2012 LCDP Fellows are:
